Recent Advances in Ion Sensors 2024

Dear Colleagues,

Ion sensors continue to underpin the research aiming to address the complex challenges we face in many aspects of our daily lives. From personalized medicine to precision agriculture, safety and security, ion sensors play an important role in the development of diagnostics, treatment and the sustainable management of resources.

In the development of ion sensors that can address these challenges, we rely on the development of new analytical methodologies and the application of new materials, as well as the ability to capitalize on innovations in information technologies in order to develop smart, portable devices that can collect data with a significant improvement in spatio-temporal measurement frequency and share the data almost instantaneously.

We would like to invite you to share your innovations that are related to the aforementioned aspects of ion sensors. We would like to read papers on topics such as, but not limited to: electrochemical and optical sensors; methodologies for the application of sensors to in situ analysis; and the integration of ion sensors with electronic devices in, for example, wireless sensor networks or other smart sensor configurations. Moreover, we would welcome papers describing the utilization of statistical processing that enables simpler data processing, resulting in, for example, the better visualization of sensor data.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
